Dear Florence Roche Families,
The first full week of school is always a good reflection point for the school year. Students and staff are both getting back into the routines of school. For our specialist teachers, Monday was the first day they had with those classes because of the holiday schedule. The first 6 weeks are key for establishing the school routines that will successfully carry us through the year.
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you tonight at the highly anticipated PTA Welcome Back to School Family Social! I was in a 2nd-grade class today and many students shared how excited they were to attend. I'll be helping at the pizza table, so please stop by and say hello.
We successfully completed our first fire drill this week. Next week, Dee Bus will be coordinating a bus evacuation drill on Wednesday morning. Bus riders will complete the drill with their bus group at the school prior to disembarking for school arrival. Officer Wayne, our school resource officer, will be present to assist.
Important Dates
School Picture Day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1st. More details will be shared as we get closer to the date.
Family Open House is a wonderful opportunity to visit your student’s classroom, meet their teacher and see some of their work. Please mark your calendars!
Grades K, 1, & 3: Tuesday, October 7th from 6:30-7:30 PM
Grades 2 & 4: Thursday, October 9th from 6:30-7:30 PM
This is also a great time to meet with our specialist teachers to see what students are working on with them. Please remember that individual parent conferences are scheduled for November.
Scouting Opportunity
Have a nice weekend.
Brian
